Prepare daily lunches (served ~2:00 PM) and dinners (served ~7:00–8:00 PM) primarily for two adults and one young child, with occasional catering for small family or friend gatherings.

Off-Day Preparation:

Plan, prep, and clearly label high-quality meals left in the fridge or oven for the family to easily reheat on your scheduled days off.

Kitchen & Pantry Management:

Flexibility

Complete flexibility required to effortlessly adapt to the family’s working schedule. While mealtimes remain consistent throughout the week, days on/off will vary.

Culinary Passion & Mindset:

Deep interest in nutrition, healthy cooking, and local ingredient sourcing. A service-oriented flexible mindset, high degree of self-motivation, and a humble, collaborative attitude are essential.

Dietary Familiarity

Strong understanding of lactose-free and gluten-conscious meal design and preparation.

What Is Offered

Competitive Compensation

€47,500 gross per year, paid across 13 installments. Full salary is guaranteed year-round, including during family travel periods when you are not required on-site.
